AB 11-226 Trash container enclosure requirements

2006. The 1994 McCall City Code also contained language requiring that waste matter be
contained or within a site obscuring fence.
Code Enforcement and Community Development staff issued a letter in August, 2011, to owners
and managers of commercial and multi -family residential properties that provided a reminder
about the trash enclosure code requirements and outlined a deadline for meeting those
requirements. The deadline date of July 1, 2012, was chosen to give property owners and
managers time to plan for the design and financial investment needed to meet the requirements
of the code, and account for McCall's short viable construction season. A total of seventy-three
(73) outreach letters were issued (56 commercial properties, and 17 multi -family residential
properties).
Property owners on Commerce Street presented written and verbal opposition to the trash
enclosure requirements during the public comment period of the December 1, 2011, McCall City
Council meeting. Council then requested the issue be placed on a future agenda for discussion.
Mayor Bailey summarized the feedback as a question of whether the industrial zones should
have the same requirements for trash enclosures as other commercial zones.
Brian Nelson, community member, commented that he was opposed to the requirements and that
the requirements were unpopular. He also expressed the desire to have a more personal
discussion with staff.
Scott Bowes, community member, commented that he would like to have the option of curbside
pickup of recycling.
Mayor Bailey expressed some concern regarding the dumpster at the Marina.
Council Member Swanson would like to see different standards for different zones.
Council Member Witte preferred different aesthetic standards for different zones. She also stated
that the requirement to animal -proof the trash enclosure was a safety issue and should only
require bear -proof if there was a bear problem.
Council Member Aymon agreed that the industrial area is different than the downtown core and
therefore should have different aesthetic standards. However, she stated that the safety issues
should be addressed evenly.
Council Member Scott agreed that there should be different standards for the different zones. She
was also in favor of not requiring a bear -proof trash enclosure unless there was a problem.
Mayor Bailey requested staff to develop a code amendment that would reflect the suggestions
made by Council.
Council Member Witte left the meeting at 1:15 p.m.
